My secret mate

Chapter 14

Sesshomaru’s P.O.V
I watched as my mated closed his eyes for the very last time and was claimed by death. I continued to watch my mate until one of my pup’s cries interrupted my trance. I picked up my crying son, with the cute dog ears, and brought him close to my chest. I feel so empty without the bond to my mate in the back on my mind, but I shall create a new bond with my children. I take Yoshiharu’s left leg and run a poisonous claw across his ankle. The wound quickly heals and I begin to feel a slight hum from the bond created. I put Yoshiharu back down next to his older brother and pick up Momoko. She instantly recognizes me as her father and begins a cute puppy purr. I repeat the same thing to her left ankle as I did to Yoshiharu then place her next to him. I pick up my eldest son Kiyoshi and see a reflection of myself staring back at me. There is a look on his face that shows his understanding of what is to happen and his acceptance of it. I grab His right leg and slightly above the ankle I bite into his skin and let a little bit of poison flow into the wound. I lick up the escaping blood and watch the wound heal to leave a slight scar. It is the mark that every heir of the inu clan has. I continue to hold him as I offer my arm for him to feed from. Demon pups usually feed off the blood of their mother but if the mother has passed they will drink from their father or closest blood relative. After Kiyoshi had his fill I begin to feed Yoshiharu and Momoko. “Kagome now that Inuyasha has passed you will now watch over my children. Do not let them out of your sight or you’ll severely regret it.”

“Yes my lord” Kagome replied.

“Kaede please take Inuyasha’s body to be prepared for his funeral.” I said in a very distant voice.

“Yes my lord.” Kaede replied. She gathered up my mates dead body and just seeing her touch him made me want to attack her, but I help myself back. Once she left I turned towards Kagome.

“You may leave. I would like some time along with my pups.”

"Yes my lord.” She quickly left while I gathered my pups around me and we all lay in the blood soaked sheets of their mother and my mate. The pups continued to shift around until they find a comfortable position to settle into sleep.

This night has been the worst and best night of my life. I have three pups given to me by my wonderful mate but he is not here to enjoy it with me, but I will be strong for my pups. To be born in such times as these, filled with war and death, will be hard for them but I will try my hardest to raise them as my mate would want them to be.

Five Years Later

Trying to balance the war and spending time with my pups has been hard but I would have say that the closeness that I have with them is far beyond what I had ever imagined. I’m on my way from a frontline battle at the Eastern border of the Western lands and as I walk through the door and I see Kagome run past me with a worried look on her face. “Kagome what is wrong?” she stops and turns towards me.

“Oh my lord I didn’t see you there. I can’t seem to find the children. I’ve looked everywhere but they are nowhere to be found.”

“What!”

“I’m sorry my lord. I was taking them to Kaede for their check-up and while I was talking to her they snuck out of the room.” Kagome had her head down looking completely guilt ridden but I am too angry and scared to care for her feelings of guilt. I was just about to call for all the servants to search the entire manor when I hear a stampede of little feet coming my way.

“See I told you I smelled father.” I could hear my youngest son say to his siblings. The three of them came around the corner with Yoshiharu and Momoko racing to get to me first and my heir Kiyoshi following at a more sedated pace. All three of my pups came to a halt in front of me with the two youngest having huge smiles on their face while my oldest had a slight smirk on his. I see a lot of my younger self in Kiyoshi and which scares me slightly.

“Now what is this I hear about you guys running off and scaring Kagome half to death.” They at least have the decency to look ashamed while I reprimand them.

“We were just having a little fun after going to Kaede’s. Anyways it was Yoshiharu’s idea.” My daughter tried to use her innocent face to sway my anger but it would take more than that to sway me.

“No excuses you all followed the plan so you will be equally punished. Now apologize to Kagome.” I said in a stern voice that meant I was serious.

“Sorry Kagome.” They all said at the same time with their heads bowed.

“Now go to your rooms and I’ll be there in a minute. To make sure you’re in bed.”

“But father we wanted to spend some time with you before going to bed.” Yoshiharu said with a pout on his face.

“Well you should have thought about that before you ran away from Kagome. Now Go!”

“Yes father.” They replied and the three pups slunk off with their heads held down. I watched them leave until they were out of sight before turning back to address Kagome.

“If you should have any more problems with them running off like that do not hesitate to tell me.”

“Don’t be so hard on them my lord they are just children.” Kagome said in a quiet voice.

“No they are my pups and as such need to know the seriousness of the situation. If someone happened to have sneaked into the manor to kill them while they just so happen to be missing they would be dead now.”

“Yes my lord I had not thought about that.” Kagome said while lowering her head in submission.

“Now tell Sakuya to meet me in my office in an hour while I go attend to my pups.” I walk to the room across from my bedroom that I once shared with my mate. All three of the pups were in their beds but they weren’t asleep yet. I sat on my eldest son’s bed and invited the others to come join us, which they hurried to do. I hug them close to me and say, “I do not mean to be too harsh on you but you must learn to be careful. We are not living in peaceful times right now and I don’t want anything to happen to you. You guys are the greatest, most precious gift your mother gave to me and I will do anything to keep you safe even if that means punishing you from running away from your sitter.”

“We’re sorry father we won’t do it again we promise.” My sweet angelic daughter said to me.

“Good now off to bed with you.” They scampered to their separate beds and I left after kissing each one on the head and saying good night. I made my way to my office and went in to begin looking through all the paper work that needed to be done before Sakuya arrived.


AN: I know I know you all hate me now. I’m really sorry that I haven’t updated lately but I’ve been trying to get used to college life but now that it’s break I’ll have lots of time to update all my stories. Would you guys rather I update shorter chapters as often as I can during the school year or just wait until I can put out a nice length chapter?
